AVC Recovery Tool

The AVC Recovery Tool is a standalone utility for updating the firmware for both processors in the AVC. Cur-
rently this tool can only be run on Windows.

When to use it

To update the firmware for both processors in the AVC

The AVC has two processors. Reloading firmware from Designer updates the firmware for one of the processors
(the DSP) but not the other (the MCU). Occasionally we release updates for the MCU as well as for the DSP and
at this point the AVC Recovery Tool must be used.

To recover corrupt firmware

It is possible, although rare, for the firmware to become corrupt when updating using the Designer software, par-
ticularly over an Ethernet connection. An AVC with corrupt firmware (as indicated by the status LEDs, see

troubleshooting

) can not be updated using the Designer software and so the AVC Recovery Tool must be used

instead.
